You’re all right

My friend has the best job. He works at a grocery store in the produce department. He says all day long people will come up to him, reach around his cart to grab a fruit or a vegetable, and as he tries to move to make things easier for them, they say, “You’re okay.” “You’re all right.” “You’re fine.” All day long he hears these words. And you know what he does? He says to himself, “Yeah! I’m okay. I’m all right. I’m doing fine!”

I love that.

What if we affirmed ourselves, rather than the often frequently negative messages we send? “Oh I really messed that up.” “I wish that I’d never done that.” Or even, “I didn’t do that perfectly so there must be something wrong with me.” What about, “I’m too_______.” (Fat, ugly, stupid, late, tired, unhappy, overworked, broke, etc, etc, etc…) Maybe we’re not “too” anything. Maybe we’re just perfect the way we are. We’re all right.

What’s Up?

What they say …

I wanted to write you a note to say thank you for consistently providing fantastic classes for your students. Each class I learn something new or get challenged with a new concept in a completely safe and accepting environment. I have learned so much about my body and how to move it. Thank you so much for inviting us all into your life each and every day. We are blessed.

Jules is a wonderful teacher, the absolute best. She takes the time to gently and gradually help you move into correct yoga postures or Pilates forms in the way that best benefits your individual body. I have never been injured in Jules’ class, unlike other studios that I have attended. Jules classes are a celebration of ourselves, our bodies, and our lives. I feel safe in Jules’ classes and feel like I am there exer…

I came across your website after searching for flossing exercises for my arm and shoulder which have given me a lot of trouble and pain lately.
I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada so I can’t come to your studio unfortunately.
I’m at work suffering with pain and just tried an exercise that you’re demonstrating and I already feel better!!
Just wanted you to know you’ve helped me out and wanted to say thanks!!

I first got to know Jules many years ago when I took my first yoga class with her. She was so patient and really helped me to not only understand yoga and breathing, but more importantly understand how those things related to my body. Now at 60 years old, I’ve been taking Pilates with Jules for about a year. I feel better than ever and because of her teaching I’ve been able to enjoy my hobbies of gardening, walking, …

All through college I took yoga, and I always got A’s. The teacher never helped me do the poses right so I was always pulling my muscles. Then when I started doing yoga with Jules, she helped me get my body into the poses the right way so I felt a stretch in my muscles, rather than pulling them in the wrong way. It’s like your body works with you. With the other instructors I had, it was like my body was working aga…

Liron Weiss is an excellent teacher and a fantastic resource for the Jules Pilates clientele. I am so grateful to have her as a part of our team. I was initially skeptical at Sue Hitzmann’s MELT Method book, but what she was saying made sense and was easy to follow. When Liron started teaching at Jules Pilates, I started doing some of the techniques on a regular basis. These MELT techniques really help me with my ove…

Just want to share the good news and thank you for all of your help with my bones. My recent bone density scan shows my spine and femur both in the osteopenia range, improved from the osteoporosis range.
Strong bones, hurrah! Onward to keep them strong now.
